What about the F2A I-130 which is pending for almost 3 years? Why no one do anything about long process for F2A cases. Currently, I-130 is just taking 3 years and looks like minimum 2-3 years take to get interview at the consular. Please provide some insight about this why F2A spouses has been treated like they don’t exist.

I am on H4 visa. I have a valid visa until 2026. I have filed my EAD (I-765) for work permit. It is in the processing right now. If I travel outside USA during the pendency of it, will it have any effects on my I-765 application? Can my application be abandoned due to this?
The U.S. Embassy in Islamabad has requested that documents and medical examinations be completed. However, the DS-260 form, which needs to be uploaded online via the CEAC account, has been showing an error for the past two years. This is extremely frustrating because this form is crucial for receiving an interview call and possibly obtaining a visa. We have contacted the NVC regarding this issue and have attached a screenshot of the 'Application Error,' but there has been no progress so far. 😢
Hey, what about the derivatives? Once a derivative enters the US and visits his/her home country for a month or so with proper travel documents (before green card). Does it jeopardise the derivative status?
I have critical query please must answer me..I am waiting for your reply Nvc replied me in query that nvc thinks I am eligible for cspa, my question is whether consulate will use the same or different guidelines? I was initially placed in F2b category and few days back in F2A category. My priority date was current in 2021 ,if I had given the chance to submit document in 2021 , I could freeze my age in 2021 but I couldn't as I was in F2b. Can I convince counselor to use my previous final action date?
i have a question sir. what will happen if my 60 days notice from nvc stop emailing me since i got 10 emails and this july i cannot receive any emails from nvc since 60 days
This is exactly what happened to me! They denied the 1st marriage, then 10yrs later, denied my current one and sent a fraud finding saying that even though, they didn't say fraud then, they are now saying it was fraud even though they believe I'm now married legitimately. 🤦🏾♀️ I've been waiting for a NTA for over 3yrs now and don't know where to go from here.
Nice Information. It would be very good of you to let us know regarding filing I-751, the USCIS mentioned to give federal and state tax return . Tax accountant gave the tax return client file which include all.Should we submit the client tax return file given by tax accountant or should we submit the tax return receipt from IRS ? Moreover IRS has not state tax return and how to get state tax return sir?
Is there anyway we can dispute a bar against my husband because INS claimed my husband lied about being a US CITIZEN when he was stopped trying to illegally cross into the USA, but he claimed he never said anything to the border control agents when he was stopped. He said that he was with a US CITIZEN when he was stopped and she is the one who spoke on his behalf because he didn't speak English at all at that time, so he is unsure if she lied and told the agents he was a US citizen or not, but he says when he arrived at the immigration processing center he spoke with a Spanish speaking officer and when he asked where my husband was from my husband said he told him the truth, that he was from México and he was given the option to sign a paper to be voluntarily deported back to Mexico without trying to fight his deportation and he signed the paperwork and was sent back to Mexico the very next day. He said no one ever told him that he or anyone else had claimed he was a US CITIZEN while he was in custody. He successfully made it into the US a few weeks later and he had been living here in the US as a undocumented alien for over 10 years when I met him and we got married. I am a US CITIZEN and I was trying to help him get his citizenship here in the US since we have been together for over 15 years and legally married for the last 8 years. We paid our attorney and everything was going smoothly until we were supposed to go to Mexico for our visit with the US consulate in Juarez Mexico but our attorney has requested his back ground check from INS and it came back that he had falsley claimed to being a US CITIZEN back in 2001 when he first attempted to come to the US. He was in total shock and disbelief because he swears he never said anything like that. Is there anything that we can do to dispute this false claim to citizenship if he swears he never said he was a US Citizen and he was unaware if the other person that accompanied him told the officers that or not, if she did she didn't tell him what she was going to say. Nor did she ever tell him that she had said that to the officers even after he arrived here in the US
Even someone is in USA,you can expedite your case with ds260.if you got a medical emergency.You need a letter from a doctor to say you got fibroids and you need to travel to have a second opinion.
This is not a question because these attorneys they don't give free advice they are giving invitation to call them but Kevin is my guys always on podcasts. This is for people who may find himself in a similar situation as myself. And so Picking up on what Kevin mentioned, this precisely captures my issue. My mother, a U.S. citizen, petitioned for me, but before that, I arrived in the U.S. as an undocumented child and lived with her. This was in 1980, and neither of us knew the complexities of the situation at the time. It took 10 years for me to obtain legal status. During those years, I ran afoul of the law a few times in the 1980s, involving crimes of moral turpitude (CIMTs). After returning to my home country, I got my visa and received my green card shortly afterward. However, in 1996, the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) changed the rules, attempting to retroactively address CIMTs from the 1980s, including some thefts in Florida. Despite this, the offenses were not considered aggravated felonies or CIMTs, except for one, which was "uttering a forged instrument" (a $100 sales receipt). After being deported in 1999, I was out of the U.S. for 22 years. I was authorized to return to the U.S. in 2023 but now face a challenge related to my inadmissibility at the time of my entry. The legal language shifted in IIRIRA, and my issue is more about admissibility rather than entry. Given this situation, I am considering the rehabilitation provision rather than the hardship waiver, as I am otherwise eligible despite my mother's passing in 2022. I am going with the rehabilitation Option Under the waiver to address my current status?
Hello Kevin, "what a world we live in". So here's the world I live in; based on the language in 237(a)(1)(h) Fraud Waiver "otherwise admissible".....means, if I am reading what I'm reading correctly, basically means a person who, but for the fraud or misrepresentation is otherwise admissible in the case of a child of a US citizen or permanent resident to Receive the visa and they have presented it to the airport inspection officer and they were admitted-this procedure makes them a legal or lawful resident., they were eligible to receive an immigrant visa. And they were "inspected-an approved enter the country but for the misrepresentation i.e. failure to disclose criminal convictions (CIMT) pre IIRIRA. But oh my God what a world we live in, admitted has been changed to entry lawful and legal mean something else. What a world we live in
The case for my minor brother form i-130 went into administrative processing,,,after months not hearing from them,,they asked for a criminal record,,just the fact they ask a document its that a good sign?

Matter of L-K does not allow asylum seekers the right to adjust status while their application is still pending. The decision in Matter of L-K states that an alien who has failed to continuously maintain a lawful status since entry into the US, other than through no fault of their own or for technical reasons, is ineligible for adjustment of status under section 245(a). It further clarifies that failure to maintain lawful status is not considered "for technical reasons" if the alien filed an asylum application while in lawful nonimmigrant status. Therefore, asylum seekers cannot adjust their status while their application is still pending if their nonimmigrant status has expired.
That's correct for the most part. Because we still see random ones get through. It's a issue that can be litigated. The 9th circuit left it open in a footnote in a big case they had on this.
Yeah - SCOTUS ruled against Munoz 1) he is a gang member, he is a member of MS-13, and this was proven in the record by data provided by both the Salvadoran government and the US government 2) he had illegally lived in the US for over 10 years, this was barred from entering the US although this was not mentioned in the decision 3) No, Munoz had no constitutional law to live in the US with her gang member spouse
